Re: 1989 Doral Cavalier
Looks like you are making it very nice. As far as the header/ceiling fabric, ours also was drooping. I tried to clean it and use 3M spray glue...but it did not stay up and turned out to be more than I wanted to handle. I ended up getting an vehicle upholster guy and he removed it, cleaned off the old glue and foam and was able to re-glue. He used a very heavy, almost paste like glue. It looks great and we have real head room again.
I also pulled the alcohol stove cans and left the electric. However, for about 40$ or less you can get a nice little microwave.

Hi. I have purchased a well kept boat, but it still needs a little TLC.
I am hoping to find someone else with the same comments/ideas on the following:
1. repairing some top side gelcoat and original decals (contacted local Doral distibutor and requested kit color match)
2. replacing some rubber gasket around the windshield and side windows
3. fixing the drooping interior cieling fabric.-tried adhesive spray, but it did not hold.- next fix will be shallow screws with caps.
note I have removed the alcohol stove due to it being "un-safe".
I am re-staining the interior to a darker more modern cherry stain with an ivory, high gloss kitchenette countertop.- pretty sharp!!
hoping to share ideas and solutions with someone else out there with a similar Cavalier, Tara or Citation model.
Can share pics!
